SI Weekly DT Project (9/15/14)

You will be seeing a Fat Page each month in my posts.  These pages measure 6" x 6", have pockets, and lots of fun tags.  One of the fun groups called Swap Shop over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum offers this fun swap each month.  You make a fat page using that month's theme/challenge for someone, and mail it off. 

My Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project requires us to use only Smeared Ink stamps.  For this Fat Page I have used the set Voodoo (August 2013).  It is one of the Smeared Ink Rubber Club Past Offerings.  Each image was stamped with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with Pewter Embossing Powder.

SI Weekly DT and LOC #43

This project was created for the challenge blog Crafting By Designs for the Dog Days of Summer Challenge.  Smeared Ink was so awesome to sponsor this challenge and some of the Smeared Ink Design Team was asked to give some inspiration.

This project is also going to be my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team project and will also be entering this into the current Left Of Center challenge, #43 Alter It.

I have made a little 'days of the week' book to show what my children have been doing the last few weeks of summer before school starts.  I have used Smeared Ink original digital stamp set called Stitchy Situation.  The pages were altered from coasters snagged from a restaurant.

SI Weekly DT, Junk Funk Aug, & HDH

Got at least one project done today.  Where in the heck did the summer go?  Well I guess that just means that Halloween is just around the corner, heheeeee...

I have for you today my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project.  I have used a Smeared Ink image called Smokey.  Smokey was a FREE image that I received from a past challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  Sorry, he is not available for sale.

I was inspired to create this for some other challenges.  The first is the August Junk Funk, on the Smeared and Smudged Forum, which you have to use toothpicks in some way on your project.  The next is a challenge for Haunted Design House Macrabe Monday.  You have until Sunday to get your Ferocious Furballs in.  You MUST see what the Design Team has created, wow!

This bad ass bunny is either going to be a box top or a hang of some sort.

Puffin' On the Deets

Smokey and saying were printed onto copy paper.
Saying is from Smeared Ink digital set called Love Lil' Grumpies.

Image was inked with black fine tip Sharpie, shaded in and cig-ie end colored with  Blendabilities. He is fussy cut and adhered to background.

Background is stamped with Smeared Ink stamps from a Rubber Club Past Offering set called Chick's Dig Guns (Nov 2013).  Silver Encore ink was used.

Random words in saying were cut out and adhered to give a bit more texture.
Background layer is outlined with Blendability.

Black layer is Black Gesso applied to cut cereal box.

Base or bottom layer is also cut cereal box.  It was punched with paper piercer in the upper left and lower right corners.
Toothpicks were broken in half and inserted into punched holes.
Entire base was spray painted with Krylon Looking Glass Paint, to give a metallic look.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

I am going to enter this Fat Page into two challenges going on this month that are both Anything Goes.

Smeared Ink Weekly DT Project and Left of Center Challenge #29

I knew I wanted to try something fun with the set Morbidly Adorable Tarot: Set 1 (Jan 2014), a Rubber Club Past Offering from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  This set has amazing art work done by the fab-o Misty Benson.  Her skellies and art work, WOW!

Left of Center Creative Challenges blog has an Anything Goes Dark Theme #29 so get those projects finished up and enter to win some fun prizes.  And you must see what inspiration the DT has come up with, KILLER!

For my Weekly Smeared Ink Design Team project I have created a kind of a Stained Glass Window Hang.  Not sure really what to call it so there you go.  Figured that my Smeared Ink image was pretty dark when you have skellies playing music in the rain! 

Here is a better picture of the frame:

Sheets of Deets

Main Image

I am a huge fan of Splitcoast Stampers and just amazed at all of the tutorials that they have collected over the years.  I have used a tutorial called Acetate & Tissue, by Beate Johns, that was one of the first tutorials I had ever done and one of my favorite techniques.

So for the main image you stamp your image with Black StazOn onto a piece of acetate.

Let image dry.  Turn over.

Place drops of re-inker, using whatever colors you would like for your image.

Squeeze Crystal Effects all over.  

I use my fingers, but you can use a gloves, to smear CE to cover and get colors over entire image.

At this point you can add glitter, which I did, but not too much or your tissue paper will not stick very well.

Place white tissue paper (this is not kleenex or toilet paper) over entire image.

Press down to adhere tissue paper to acetate.  Be sure to squeeze just a tad more CE over back or your fingers could dry out and tear tissue paper.

Let dry and trim off excess tissue paper around edges.

Frame

Cut 1 1/4" strips from heavy cardboard from stash.  Used Sticky Strip and made a frame.

Placed Cherry Cobbler ink all over frame.

Used Tombow glue over entire frame, then laid down straw material in strips all over frame.

Poured more glue to help hold down strips.

Used a heat gun to make the glue try quicker.

Mixed some black Gesso with water and used a paintbrush to cover frame and material.  Heat gun again to dry quicker.

Used Dylusions Spray Inks (Lemon Zest & After Midnight) and SU! Smooch Spritz (Pink Pirouette, Gold, and my own mixture with Vanilla Shimmer).

Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details to add small bits of glitter on frame.

Black Linen thread for hang.  

Black card stock for backing.

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

QTR,N #31, DominoART #10, Challenges & Smeared Ink Weekly DT Project

Been seeing tons of great challenges out there and had to make something.  I decided on a little hang.
Just received my recent Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamp set Specimen Jar and HAD to use!  Stamped images are from this set and Quoth The Raven (Feb 2013), a Rubber Club Past Offering.  For my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team project, Smeared Ink rubber are the only one's I have used for this project.
I have never joined DominoART and have been intimidated by the wonderful projects that are shown and all the talent of the entrants as well.  So I sucked it up and decided that I am gonna give it a shot this round.
Then, I apologize to the Master, but for some reason keep missing the deadlines for the Quests at Quoth The Raven, Nevermore.  Will take my lashing and not miss this round!!

Quoth The Raven, Nevermore Challenge #31 is POEcabulary.  Use any works by Poe that will inspire your piece.  I have chosen a short story called Berenice by Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1835.  I have used quotes from the story and you will have to read it to find out the true horror...

DominoART Challenge #10 is Any Game Goes Using Stencils.  I love stencils and I think I used 4 different stencils in my backgrounds on my game pieces.

Pullin' Out the Details, One by One

Started out with a Super Hero Memory game.  Had 3 cardboard cards that had lost their partners.  Used White Gesso on each side.
First layer of ink was a Dylusions Melted Chocolate Ink Spray.
Sponged Early Espresso ink around all edges and sides.
With sponge and ink used Ring Dolly stencil from The Crafters Workshop.
Next, a Dreamweaver Stencil called Frame.  Again with sponge and ink.

I inked up Mini Gears stencil with Gold Encore ink.  Layed my piece onto inked stencil and pressed down to get the stencil image.
Last, was the Mexican Skull Stencil, from The Crafters Workshop, with sponge and ink.  I used the flora around the main image.
Each stencil was used on each side of the 3 game pieces.

I chose three different butterflies from the Smeared Ink Specimen Jar set (March 2014 #1).  Each was inked with Black StazOn and stamped onto blue tissue paper.  Each was fussy cut and adhere to center of game pieces with Crystal Effects.
On center game piece I used Versa Mark ink and stamp from Smeared Ink Quoth The Raven set (Feb 2013).  Image was stamped onto dried surface.  White Embossing Powder over stamped image and then heat set.

On the back sides of each piece I will start from the top down.
Top Piece - Quotes from Berenice by Edgar Allan Poe.
"She spoke no word..."
"The eyes were lifeless..."
"...the teeth of the changed Berenice..."
All written with fine tip black Sharpie.

Middle Piece - Stamp lady image from Specimen Jar with Black StazOn.
Teeth from stamp out of Quoth The Raven set with Versa Mark ink and heat set with White Embossing Powder.
Words written with fine tip black Sharpie - "...Berenice of dream."

Bottom Piece - Black Sharpie used to write "THE TEETH".

All sides of each game piece was Versa Marked and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.

Teeth are made from White Simply Pressed Clay.  Dried and colored in with Aqua Painter and inks.
Adhered with dyed white tissue paper and Crystal Effects.

Fishing line to hold pieces together and for loop at top.
Skull at top is from stash.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Weekly Smeared Ink DT Project

Feels great to be home and can't wait to get back to crafting.  We are just finishing up Spring Break here and the kids and I were gone all week.  Had a great time with both sets of grandparents and took all three kiddos on a backpacking trip in Moab, UT.   So between laundry and unpacking the car my breaks are trying to get some posts and online eye candy in.  So much to catch up on!

On to my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project.  I have created a recipe box out of necessity.  I have one notebook where I place my fav's, but it got left behind at a friend house, eeekkkk!  So now I have decided to create a new box to place my fav's and it WILL NOT leave my house.  Remember to check out the Smeared and Smudged Forum for my teamies wonderful weekly projects, or click on their names on the left side to get to their blogs.

I was in Santa Fe, NM a couple of weekends ago and found a fabulous little stamp shop in downtown.  Picked up a couple of "must have's" and the stencil used on the front and back of my box is one of those.

I have used Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamps from the Past Offerings Rubber Club and am waiting to get my Build A Zombie Alphabet, which is one of two of April's Featured Sets, for the letters to spell "Recipes" and other fun words dealing with food and eating.
My pages are stamped, stenciled, and printed out.

Appetizing Deets

I started with a Tampax box.  Tore off the top flaps.  Adhered Newsprint Designer Paper (retired SU!) all over the box with Tombow glue.  Set aside to dry.

Danse Macabre from Past Rubber Club Offerings used on side and on pages.  (Set is also availabe in Digi HERE)
Blue skull page is from the Smeared Ink Digital Paper set Cranium.  Color is altered and printed out in a smaller size.

Finished my box with Black Gesso around all edges to help cove the color the original box and to hold a all the torn pieces in place.

Once everything is in place, the words, I will go over each panel with Crystal Effects to give a shiny finish and to hold it all together.

Photo 1
Once dry, I placed Mexican Skull stencil, from The Crafters Workshop, directly onto box side.  Spritzed with Dylusions Ink Sprays.  Placed a piece of white card stock over top to get the negative, which will be used on the other side of box.

Inked my homemade gelli plate up and you can see the acrylic paints and images around the edges.  Used another stencil called Ring Dolly, also from The Crafters Workshop, along the left edge with sponges and ink.

Pearl Jewels for eyes colored in with black Sharpie.  Fine Tip black Sharpie to outline the stencil a bit to see more of the skull image.

Photo 2
Used the negative from the first side.  Tore edges and adhered to side.
Ring Dolly Stencil used once more along once side with sponge and ink.
Pearl Jewels for eyes.

Photo 3 - Box Inside
Cut up a 12"x 12" DP from My Minds Eye and then spritzed with Maya Red Spray. 
Placed a stronger piece of cardboard in the bottom which was distressed with Early Espresso ink around edges.
Used Lace Ribbon Border Punch (retired SU!) for edging with scrap DP.  Adhered to front and back edges.
Placed brads on each bottom corners, and on front and back of box.
Spritzed DP then adhered over to make a nice clean finish for box inside.

Side Panel
Rubber stamp from set Danse Macabre (January 2014) on torn Whisper White card stock.
Whisper White card stock background from gelli plate scraps.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Smeared Ink Weekly DT Project

A busy week and headed out this weekend for a little get away.  Hope you all have a great weekend and be sure to stop by on Monday for the Smeared Ink Design Team Blog Hop.

For this project I am going to show the first page in a book that I have created using the Smeared Ink digital set Framed Rhymes.  I love nursery rhymes and just had to have when I saw Smeared Ink style nursery rhymes! 

The first of four is Mary Mary Quite Contrary. 

 

Growing the Details

Besides Framed Rhymes, I also used a Smeared Ink Rubber Club set called Killer Bo which is one of this months offering.  It has some great plants and skellie plants.

The edging around each page is masking tape, scrunched and wadded.

I then used White Gesso over the entire page to cover the original book.

Silver Metallic Inka Rub over edging.

Images was printed out onto card stock and colored in with markers and Blender Pen.

Random things from stash added to make page floral.

Sayings were printed out onto copy paper.

Inks, sprays, markers all used to make background colors and for stamped images.

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Weekly Smeared Ink Design Team Project

Oh no, I think that I am going to have A LOT of Art Journals.  But that's okay, the only thing is where am I going to put them!  Not to worry, I will find a spot. 

For this week's Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project I have made a new Art Journal.  This was inspired from the Art Journal Every Day Group on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  I have used Prompt #13 & #16 along with Technique #16.

Prompts #13 is be inspired by the Big Top.  Prompt #16 use a Manilla folder for your Art Journal/page.  Technique #16 is building with ink, watercolor, and Gesso.  Thank You Laura B. and Susan Slayer for your prompts and techniques!

Stamps are from the Past Offerings of the Smeared Ink Rubber Club, Carnies (Dec 2013) and Dedicated to Art (Dec 2013).

Behind the Curtains

I cut my Manilla folder in half so that I could get two half folders out of it.  They measure 5 3/4" x 9".

Used Envelope Board to make more file tops on ends for each of the folders.

Layers of Ranger Distressed Inks, Watercolor crayons, White Gesso, Staz On inks, and Stampin' Up! inks. 
Aqua Painter, paint brush, Tombow Glue, and stencils also used.

Gold Smooch Spritz.

Fine tip Black Sharpie for written words.

Designer Paper is from a set called Big Top (SU! retired).

Images were stamped onto copy paper, fussy cut, and adhered on.

Snake Charmer was gone over with Versa Mark ink, Clear Embossing Powder and heat embossed.

Note:  Next time I think that I am not going to go over my main images with Gesso.  Tried to do it lightly but really lost color once Gesso was dried.

Weekly Smeared Ink DT Project and Junk Funk March Challenge

For this week I have chosen to combine my Weekly Smeared Ink Design Team Project, in which I have only used Smeared Ink stamps, with a monthly challenge on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.

I have altered a tin can to make what I like to call my "Eye Can Can".  

The Junk Funk Challenge is to use lids, any kind of lids.

My lids are bottle caps.

Eye Catching Deets

Eyes are from a digital stamp from the set Monster Hearts found in the Smeared Ink shop.

I cropped the image to get only the eyes, then printed.

Each is colored in with markers and punched out with 1 1/4", 1", 1/2" circle punches.

Clear stones were purchased at Walmart and hot glued on.

Finished eyes were placed in bottle caps and Crystal Effects over each.

Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks used on base of tin can.

Large Pearl Jewels for white eyes.  

On the smallest caps, I hand drew eyes with black Sharpie.  

Black Sharpie also used for eye centers on Pearl Jewels.

I did use hot glue in some open areas to help give texture.

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Weekly Smeared Ink DT Project

Fat Tuesday and what better way than to celebrate this day than with a new Art Journal!  I am using watercolor paper as my base for each page.

My art journal page for my Weekly Smeared Ink Design Team project uses a stamp I just got from the set Danse Macabre (January 2014) and a partial saying from the stamp set Occasions Grumpies (September 2013). Both sets I received from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.

Since I have only used Smeared Ink stamps I am also going to put this page in the Smudgy Antics Anything Goes Challenge found in the Challenger Group on the Smeared and Smudged Forum for this month.  Get over to the Smeared and Smudged Forum and check out the challenges, groups, and talented people.

I was also inspired by a wonderful ground which can be found at the Smeared and Smudged Forum called Art Journal Everyday.  This fab group has wonderful Design Team Members that give you prompts and techniques to help you create fun new pages for your art journal.

I have used Technique #15, done by Titbelsoeur, for this/these pages which I am planning on turning into a journal.  I just love this technique!!  Live it up tonight and get crafty!

FLASH

NO FLASH

Drinks N' Deets

I stamped my image from Danse Macabre Smeared Ink Rubber Club set onto scrap paper.  Fussy cut.
Looked in some magazines until I saw this page w/ lots on it.  Tried a few pictures then saw the hat shape and the bottle.
Used the two pictures and my fussy cut guy to make my template.  I found an old piece of plastic in my stash and used a black Sharpie to make outlines.
Fussy cut my drawn shape on the plastic.

Background is use of bubble wrap, Dylusion Spray Inks, templates, and random texture pieces I could find.

Saying is "get lit" from the original saying "let's get lit for the holidays" from the Occasions Grumpies stamp set, Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  I stamped in Early Espresso ink inside image on left and around image on the right.

Skelli was re-stamped with Cajun Craze ink on right side.
I used a gold marker to outline each dancing guy.
Spritzed Gold Smooch (retired SU!) over entire page.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
